Clock Choke

submissionintermediateGi Only

A collar choke applied while walking around the turtled opponent like a clock.

The clock choke is applied against a turtled opponent. You grip deep in their far collar, sprawl your weight on them, and walk your body around their head (like the hands of a clock) to tighten the choke. The combination of your bodyweight dropping and the collar grip cinching makes it very powerful. It's one of the primary attacks from turtle top in the gi and rewards patience in controlling the grip before committing to the walk.
